Police take endangered baby from home

Seattle police took a 10-month-old boy from a home containing alcohol and drugs Sunday evening.

Officers saw that the baby was not reacting appropriately to his environment, with police suspecting he was intoxicated and endangered, according to a police statement. The child was taken to Children’s Hospital. Child Protective Services took custody of the boy at the hospital.

A woman at the home on the 4300 block of 15th Avenue South called 911 about a fight at 6 p.m., according to the statement.

When officers arrived, they found a “highly intoxicated” woman trying to play peacemaker between “two fighting parties,” the news release said.

The woman was also breastfeeding and caring for her 10-month-old baby. Drugs and drug paraphernalia were also found in the home.
